Coco Rocha

First aired October 19, 2011

The girls are taken to the beach, where they are introduced to a charity initiative - they will be split into two teams of nine, and will participate in a game of flag football. To make up the numbers, recently eliminated contestants Brittany, Sheena, Isis and Camille were invited back to join them. Each team was also joined by two players from the NFL (Julian Edelman, Jahvid Best, Kareem Jackson, and Dante Hughes), with the winning team earning 5,000 for their football players' charities. In addition, at undefined points during the match, Nigel will call the girls over for a photo shoot challenge with the football players. Despite falling behind early on, the Blue team, consisting of Allison, Angelea, Bianca, Bre and Laura, won the game 14-7 (and the charity money), but it was Kayla of the Red team who performed the best at the shoot and she won a photo shoot with Andre for Tyra's website as her prize.

Later, the girls were introduced to Coco Rocha, and discovered they would be modelling with her in pairs for their bar fight-themed photo shoot. Angelea disappoints Jay by arriving on set with low energy and after some negative feedback, left the set midway through the shoot, but returned with new life and impressed Jay. Alexandria and Bre entertained everyone with their loud screaming throughout the shoot, but Jay and Coco were concerned that they were more "actors" than "models."

Alexandria & Bre
Allison & Kayla
Angelea & Laura
Bianca & Shannon
Dominique & Lisa

At panel, the pair of Dominique and Lisa received top praise for their shoot and they earned the top two call-outs (this also marks Dominique's first ever top call-out between her two cycles), while Bianca, Angelea and Allison also impressed the panel. Alexandria and Bre landed in the bottom two for their poor performance at the shoot, and both were told that they were not living up to their standards from their original cycles, but in the end, Alexandria was spared again and Bre was eliminated.

• First call-out: Dominique Reighard

Kathy Griffin

First aired October 26, 2011

This week's reward challenge saw the girls creating their own signature fragrances and endorsing their product in front of a live audience, greeting the public in bathtubs. Alexandria irritated some of the girls when she took a long time picking her ingredients, while Bianca refused to pose in the tub. Cycle 3 winner Eva Marcille hosted the launch party. Lisa won the challenge for her fun label and endorsement (she splashed in the tub) which granted her immunity from the next elimination.

Model	Fragrance Name
Alexandria	Diamondatrix
Allison	Honey Blood
Angelea	Angelea
Bianca	Candid
Dominique	Survivor
Kayla	Free
Laura	Love
Lisa	Neon
Shannon	Smitten

For the photo shoot, the girls emulated reality TV stars while riding and posing on a motorcycle, they portraying TV star as follow:

Reality TV star	Models
NeNe Leakes	Alexandria, Angelea, Laura & Lisa
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi	Allison, Bianca, Dominique, Kayla & Shannon

Shannon failed to portray the sassiness of her star while Kayla got distracted by screaming fans.

Comedienne Kathy Griffin surprised the girls at panel with a comedic entrance. Tyra also announced an addition to this cycle's prize package - the face of the new America's Next Top Model Fragrance. Bianca became vocally defensive when questioned about her behavior during the fragrance launch party. After the deliberations, Tyra stated that she only had seven photos in her hand (meaning two girls would be going home). Lisa's immunity and her strong photo earned her another first call-out while Bianca, Kayla and Shannon landed to the bottom three, Shannon for being too safe and not standing out, Kayla for slowly regressing throughout the competition and Bianca for her bad attitude and behavior. Shannon received the last photo; Bianca and Kayla were sent home.

• Immune/First call-out: Lisa D'Amato
• Bottom three: Bianca Golden, Kayla Ferrel & Shannon Stewart
• Eliminated: Bianca Golden & Kayla Ferrel
• Featured photographer: Mike Rosenthal
• Special guests: Kathy Griffin, Eva Marcille, Ben Bennett, Glenn Nutley

Game

First aired November 2, 2011

Mr. Jay announced that the remaining all-stars would make a music video for the week's assignment. Each of them is assigned a tune and they have 20 minutes to compose lyrics. Allison got frustrated because of her lack of a singing background. Lisa's past song-writing experience helped her excel and ultimately won the reward challenge, earning a visit from her fiancé Adam.

The next day, rapper Game tasks the girls to incorporate "Pot Ledom" ("Top Model" spelt backwards) as a hook into their song, before guiding them to film their music videos.

Model	Music Video Title
Alexandria	Go, Go, Go!
Allison	Underwater
Angelea	I'm Here
Dominique	Tooch Ya Booty
Laura	Southern Sweet Girl
Lisa	I Be Like Whoa!
Shannon	World Go Round

Game was impressed by Allison's awkwardness that shone in her video, and was touched by her dedication of the song to her late father. Her stellar video earned her the first call-out, while Alexandria and Angelea landed in the bottom two, Alexandria for her rigid and robotic movements and Angelea's lack of energy that didn't match up to the strong lyrics of her song. Ultimately Angelea was saved for a third time and Alexandria was sent home.

• First call-out: Allison Harvard
• Bottom two: Alexandria Everett & Angelea Preston
• Eliminated: Alexandria Everett
• Featured director: Game
• Special guests: Keenan Cahill, Madison Hohrine, Tom Polce, Anita Patrickson, Adam (Lisa's Fiancé)

Nikos Papadopoulos

First aired November 9, 2011

André arrives at the girls' house and informs them that they would be travelling to Greece for the remainder of the competition. When they arrive at Athens, Miss J. tasks them to write a one-minute speech introducing themselves to the Greek Tourism dignitaries once they touch down at their final destination " Crete. Almost all of the girls commit minor faux pas. Lisa was dressed inappropriately, Allison was really great, Shannon focused too much on herself, Dominique's nervousness showed through, Laura was too excitable and Angelea signed off crudely. All these gave Allison, the only one who did not commit any errors, the challenge win. She won a piece of Lina Fanouraki jewelry.

When the models arrived at their new home, they are given the opportunity to collaborate with designer Michael Cinco to design their final runway gown should they make it to the final two.

This week's photo shoot required the girls to model lingerie while posing into a giant bowl of Greek salad. Shannon refused to pose in underwear and she sat out of the shoot, while Allison's tearing eyes and Laura's migraine caused discomfort at their respective shoots.

At panel, Dominique's photo was universally applauded, and while Allison's eyes were closed in her photo, she pulled off a great shot nevertheless. Laura's erotically-charged photo didn't sit well with the judges, especially since they felt it was contradictory to her "lovable" brand. This caused her to land in the bottom two for the first time (in both of her cycles) together with Shannon, whom the judges appreciated for standing up for her beliefs, but in the end, the judges felt that Laura's performance was better, and Shannon was eliminated.

• First call-out: Dominique Reighard
• Bottom two: Laura Kirkpatrick & Shannon Stewart
• Eliminated: Shannon Stewart
• Featured photographer: Nikos Papadopoulos
• Special guests: Vicky Kaya, Maria Kafetzaki, Dimitris Kounenakis, Lina Fanouraki, Michael Cinco, Georgina Wilson

Exploring Greece

First airing November 16, 2011

The week's reward challenge required the girls to critique and assess each other's modelling potential. Dominique, Angelea and Lisa got into a heated argument when Dominique called out Angelea's lack of self-awareness and commitment, causing the latter to storm out in frustration. However, when asked to statistically rate each other's overall star-quality, Allison was ranked the weakest while Laura scored the strongest, winning the challenge. After the challenge, the girls were brought out for a day of yachting, swimming, clubbing and drinks.

This week's photo shoot required the girls to portray ancient Olympic sports, namely:

Model	Olympic Sport
Allison	Discus Throw
Angelea	Shot Put
Dominique	Javelin
Laura	Archery
Lisa	Hurdles

At panel, all of the girls managed to produce good shots, albeit all were met with mixed reactions from the judges. In the end, Angelea and Dominique landed in the bottom two. The judges felt that although Dominique had taken striking photos throughout the cycle, and stronger shots than Angelea overall, she was not as memorable, and whilst Angelea had a better personality, she tends to crack under pressure. However, Angelea is given yet another chance and Dominique is eliminated.

• First call-out: Laura Kirkpatrick
• Bottom two: Angelea Preston & Dominique Reighard
• Eliminated: Dominique Reighard
• Featured photographer: Nigel Barker
• Special guests: Twylem Pyper, Maria Cristina Petrone, Michael Kanyon

Highlights

First airing November 23, 2011

This was the recap episode that highlighted scenes from the first ten episodes of the cycle. It also included some never-before-seen footage such as Angelea and Bianca arguing over a phone list but later gaining a mutual understanding, the girls questioning Isis about her transgender life, Bianca and Camille's verbal altercation over phone use, Alexandria and Allison chatting about the former's super nice and sensitive tough person, Bre chiding Bianca for not contributing to household chores, Angelea's fascination with Kim Kardashian's butt, Kayla's lack of vocabulary knowledge, Lisa's many crazy antics around the house, Laura and Lisa telling Shannon the benefits of the female orgasm, a day trip to the Greek island of Santorini, the girls celebrating Laura's 22nd birthday, and Angelea and Laura's Greek massage (as part of Laura's challenge win prize from episode 10).

Tyson Beckford

First airing November 30, 2011

The final four girls are given a blog-writing challenge for Vogue.it. They have 3 hours to select an outfit, drive to a location and take a photo of themselves there, and head back to their mansion to write about Crete lifestyle and fashion.

This week, instead of a regular photo shoot, the girls were required to film 2 days worth of motion editorial for Tyra's New York Times best-selling young adult novel Modelland. Lisa and Angelea excelled while Allison's watery eyes gave her problems again, and Laura struggled to contain her overt sex appeal.

After the blog, Allison and Laura's short postings aren't well received, while Lisa failed to talk about fashion, therefore handing Angelea her first win of the cycle. She won a 7-night return trip to Crete and a gold tiara.

After the Modelland motion editorial, supermodel Tyson Beckford joined them on the second day.

At panel, in what Tyra called "one of the longest deliberations ever" (the deliberation over who would go home lasted a little over 1.5 hours), Lisa and Angelea's strong performances saved them and in turn, landed Allison and Laura in the bottom two. The judges were torn over Laura, who had a bubbly and contagious personality but struggled to take high-fashion photos, and Allison, who was introverted but had a unique quirkiness in photos. In the end, Allison was saved and Laura was eliminated.

• First call-out: Lisa D'Amato
• Bottom two: Allison Harvard & Laura Kirkpatrick
• Eliminated: Laura Kirkpatrick
• Featured director: Tyra Banks
• Special guests: Franca Sozzani, Tyson Beckford, Michael Kanyon, Michael Cinco

All-Star Finale

First airing December 7, 2011

The final three girls shoot their CoverGirl Intense Shadow Blast commercial and print ad. Lisa struggles to showcase her vivacious personality, and the strong light once again causes problems for Allison's watery eyes, although both manage to pull off commendable efforts in the end while Angelea does well in both.

The girls then are photographed for Vogue Italia. All three do a good job, and then it's time for the final runway show.

For the final runway show, the final three will wear personally-customized gowns by Michael Cinco, and are joined by previously eliminated girls Shannon, Dominique and Laura. The elaborate theatrics of the show requires the girls to swim underwater, do a quick-change, fly in the air and walk to their music video song from episode 8. Angelea cries shortly before the show starts due to the pressure. All three finalists face minor runway faux pas - Lisa accidentally swims to the side of the pool (instead of the ramp at the centre) to fix her mask, which fell off as the result of trying to do a flip underwater, Angelea has problems remaining underwater and Allison loves control of her dress due to the gushing wind.

At panel, it is revealed that Angelea was disqualified by production for unspecified reasons, and that the judging was now back in Los Angeles. (The set used for the final judging was the same as the one used for the first half of the following cycle, with some modifications.) For the CoverGirl print ad, Allison's photo was criticized for failing to "smize" and looking vacant, while Lisa's was applauded for being alluring and flirtatious. Both were criticized for their CoverGirl commercial " Allison was too introverted while Lisa failed to showcase her personality. For the final runway, Allison's graceful swimming was lauded, as was Lisa's command of her dress, but Allison was disparaged for her weak runway walk and Lisa for her swimming fiasco.

In the final deliberations, the judges agreed that both Allison and Lisa had personified their brands ("unique" and "daring" respectively) well. The merits and drawbacks of both finalists were discussed- Allison was loved by photographers and designers alike as both a model and a muse but however, her introverted personality would deem her inappropriate for the role of an Extra correspondent.

Lisa's sassy and outgoing personality, as well as her progress of refinement throughout the course of the competition was appreciated, as was her superior runway walk and confidence. It was noted that whilst Lisa's may not only have been the best model, she was an all-rounder, being a good singer, performer, entertainer, actress, celebrity and would easily command attention on the red carpet " a vital attribute for an Extra correspondent. However, her personality could easily come off as too tough and conceited.

In the end, the second half of Modelland was shown, which revealed Lisa as the winner of America's Next Top Model: All Stars.

• Disqualified: Angelea Preston
• Final two: Allison Harvard & Lisa D'Amato
• America's Next Top Model: Lisa D'Amato

Angelea's disqualification controversy

Following the finale, reports began to speculate regarding the disqualification of Angelea Preston. Several theories have been debunked, including that she was disqualified for her pregnancy (which was subsequently announced following the airing of the finale) or for having an affair with a crew member. The most widely supported theory is that Preston actually won the competition but had the title stripped from her after she revealed details of her win before it aired. This theory is supported by the fact that the final panel was mysteriously re-shot in Los Angeles.

In January 2013, Angelea confirmed that she had indeed won the competition prior to being stripped of the title, but she did not reveal details of her win before it aired and that she would be coming out with a memoir detailing specifics of the event.
